subject: Google Chrome 1 Free Ios App [print this page] If youve ever used Googles Chrome browser, you know that its a pretty nifty browser. Capable of a lot with some really cool features and top-notch security. Whats even cooler is that its now available for Apples iOS and its a runaway hit.
The app was released on Tuesday, however, its only been available since this morning. Currently, the new mobile version of this kick-ass browser is the top free app in both the iPhone and iPad categories. What I think Google did correctly is instead of creating one version that would run on both the iPhone and iPad, Google went off and created dedicated versions for both devices, which means that iPad users (like myself) can take advantage of the iPads vast visual real estate.
If youre considering getting the app, know that it offers the same features (for the most part) as its desktop brother, including tabbed browsing with the ability to switch the position of the tabs. Ive always though the ability to switch the tabs was one of the most underrated aspects about Google Chrome; others have since adopted a similar philosophy. The other real neat part about Google chrome is that the web browser address bar doubles as a search bar. Sometimes you dont know the web address, so you can just type in Snorg T-Shirts and youll be taken to that t-shirt shops website (which happens to be snorgtees.com). There are other nifty features, but arguably one of the best is Incognito, which lets you browse securely without having your history tracked. This is perfect when you keep your iPad in the living room and everyone in the household uses it. Sometimes, you wanna look at at the Fiat commercial with the supermodel and dont want the wifey to see that youve been ogling um automobiles.
Chrome for iOS also lets you view your bookmarks, saved passwords, and even open tabs from other computers and devices running the browser. In perhaps what it the most over-looked and under appreciated part of this new app is the fact that you can send Web pages directly from your PC to your iOS device to read them remotely, even when youre not online. Have the catch the train or subway and dont have time to check out the full article? Send it to the iPad and then catch up on it while youre on your commute. Unless you live in LA, of course, and you have to drive everywhere
Google Chrome for iOS is the bees knees. According to other sources around the net, more than 3/4 of the users have given it 5-stars. Not to shabby. Maybe Apple will take notice and give some much needed updates to Safari.
